Kuala Lumpur, May 2025 — François Hurtaud Studio is excited to unveil a new chapter in the Poli Pas Poli story through a partnership with sustainable lighting brand Lumika Design. This collaboration introduces the Poli Pendant and Poli Table Lamp, two signature designs reimagined using Lumika’s 100% recycled PET.

Originally developed as part of the Poly Pas Poli series, these lighting pieces are defined by their spiral-line construction and honeycomb-inspired textures. Now, with Lumika, the same design comes to life in a new material that reflects a shared commitment to conscious making.

“The idea was to keep the spirit of the design intact, but push it further by using post-consumer plastic waste,” says François Hurtaud. “Lumika brought the right mindset and materials expertise to make that happen.”

Lumika Design specializes in lighting solutions that combine circular design principles with sleek, contemporary aesthetics. With this collaboration, both teams aimed to create lighting pieces that feel modern, personal, and better for the planet.
